Paper abstract: We propose an algorithm for meta-learning that is
model-agnostic, in the sense that it is compatible with any model trained with
gradient descent and applicable to a variety of different learning problems,
including classification, regression, and reinforcement learning. The goal of
meta-learning is to train a model on a variety of learning tasks, such that it
can solve new learning tasks using only a small number of training samples. In
our approach, the parameters of the model are explicitly trained such that a
small number of gradient steps with a small amount of training data from a new
task will produce good generalization performance on that task. In effect, our
method trains the model to be easy to fine-tune. We demonstrate that this
approach leads to state-of-the-art performance on two fewshot image
classification benchmarks, produces good results on few-shot regression, and
accelerates fine-tuning for policy gradient reinforcement learning with neural
network policies
